I'm sorely tempted to build a helo but have never attempted one before. Could anyone point me in the direction of something that will build up nicely OOB without any major fit problems? Preferably 1/72 as I don't have a lot of storage space left. Any nationality/type etc, I'm not picky.

Thanks in advance.

That's a bit of a "How long is a piece of string?" question, Martin!

What would suit you best might depend on what you are used to building. What's your usual poison? Cars? Panes? Ships? Armour?

The Italeri Huey UH-1B goes together quite well. So does their Bell 47 / Sioux, but it's more fiddly. They are both cheap, too, so you wouldn't be so scared of stuffing them up! If you go for the Bell 47, there are only a couple of seams to fix up as there is so little body work.

I hope this helps.

Graeme.

Thanks Graeme, I should have said I have built plenty of aircraft kits so the usual things like seams are not a problem, I just don't want to end up with a kit where parts don't fit where they are supposed to or need major surgery to go into place.
